Your words feel like a soothing salve on my grieving heart. Just when I think I’m moving on from grief, another loss hits me and my heart is cracked open again and life feels uncertain once again. Thank you for your tenderness and vulnerability and for offering healing words and care 💜

May the holidays fill your heart and home with joy and delight ✨

This…”What I want to say most is god, I’m amazed at our ability to face continual grief and still find continual beauty threaded within it — it truly blows my heart wide open.”
